Although aseptic non-union of humeral shaft fractures is generally considered to be an exceptional complication, rates in the literature have varied from 1 to 10%. The aim of this retrospective study was to study the results of treatment by plating and bone grafting for aseptic non-union of humeral shaft fractures. The retrospective study gathered 20 patients, the mean age was 41 years. The most common fracture site was the middle third. For the follow-up evaluation, we used the Steward and Hundley score. According to this score, we noted: 13 very good results, five good results and two poor results. Management of non-union of the humerus should be optimal at immediate surgery. The best treatment of non-union of the humerus is its prevention by correct management of the initial fracture
